There has been cloud developing in the Caribbean due high level clash. Some of those pockets of rain have already crossed over parts of Belize early this morning and more coming in, most of it with the Caribbean easterly wind, but there is also another line of rain cloud coming down from the NE from Cuba, that may well, also cause rain to northern Belize.

I expect pockets of rain, some large areas, on and off in many parts of Belize today, but there will also be a fair amount of sunshine, between.
